A new complex for the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care is being built on Bolshaya Sukharevskaya Square using several innovative construction technologies. These technologies significantly speed up processes and improve safety on-site. One such technology is the "diaphragm wall," a protective structure used in metro construction. Specialists have already completed its construction, which will allow the foundation of the medical complex to be erected despite the challenging hydrogeological conditions on the site. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction. Vladimir Efimov.
"A number of unique solutions are being used at the construction site of the new complex at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care. To create the enclosing structure, we adopted a technology from metropolitan construction, the so-called 'diaphragm wall.' This solution was implemented for the first time in the construction of a medical facility. This monolithic underground structure has now been fully completed, strengthening the pit walls and protecting it from groundwater. The perimeter length of the 'diaphragm wall' is 639 meters, and its depth is up to 25 meters," said Vladimir Efimov.
The construction of a diaphragm wall involves several stages. First, a forewall is formed along the outline of the future building. A grab excavates the soil, making room for the reinforcement cages. The excavation walls are reinforced with bentonite mortar, which is later removed. Metal reinforcement cages are lowered into the prepared space. The final stage is concreting.
"To construct the diaphragm wall enclosure, 180 reinforcement cages were manufactured directly at the construction site of the new building of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care. Each cage weighs up to seven tons. A total of approximately nine thousand cubic meters of concrete were poured. Specialists also installed a bracing beam that tied the diaphragm wall into a single structure and allowed for further excavation of the pit for the building's future foundation. Furthermore, digital technologies are being used at the construction site of the country's largest medical center to improve the safety and efficiency of all processes. For example, smartwatches for construction workers will be an experiment in using specialized devices to optimize work time," noted the head of the Moscow Department of Civil Engineering.
Additionally, Face ID technology—a construction site access control and management system with facial recognition—will be used. It will prevent unauthorized access to the site and allow for employee time tracking.
Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Moscow Department of Urban Development Policy Vladislav Ovchinsky He added that a remote control system for a construction crane was installed at the construction site of the new building of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care. He stated that it improves safety by completely eliminating the risk of crane operator falls and minimizing human error. The system is expected to reduce personnel downtime by up to 40 percent and speed up production operations by 10 percent.
Furthermore, during the construction of the new complex at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care, specialists are using artificial intelligence and laser scanning to monitor the transportation of goods and waste. Digital meters will help monitor noise emissions from the construction site. The devices capture all adverse sound vibrations generated not by individual sources, but by the entire construction site. The combined effect of all sources is analyzed, including their interaction with the surrounding environment and acoustic conditions.
The construction of a new building, covering approximately 150,000 square meters, is intended to increase the capacity of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care. It will be one of the most modern medical facilities in Russia, providing all the necessary conditions for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients. The building will be equipped with the latest equipment, including 22 high-tech operating rooms and five minor operating rooms.
The construction of social facilities in Moscow is in line with the goals and initiatives of the national project Infrastructure for LifeMore information about Russia's national projects and the capital's contribution can be found atspecial page.
